Parent Corner!
Family Life Corner- Michelle Gerlach
Building resilience in our children requires a wide variety of sensory input, touching, smelling, hearing, tasting new things. And gross motor activity running, jumping, climbing, exploring the outside world. Children need opportunities to act on the world in a physical way, the chance to find joy in the physical world- these are not optional experiences, these are necessary to building resilient children.
Blessings on your week,
Michelle Gerlach, family life coordinator
